Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil1/2 cup chopped white or yellow onion1/2 cup red bell peppers, sliced thinly1 cup sugar snap peas2 cloves garlic, minced2 tsp ground cumin1 1/2 tsp ground coriander1 tsp curry powder2 tsp white sugar (this small amount of sugar helps make this dish succesful with a balance of sweet, and mildly spicy.)1/8 - 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (use more if you want it to be really spicy, less for more mild) sometimes I just add a few flakes and taste the sauce and go from there so I don't get it too spicy.1 pound raw shrimp1 cup light coconut milk from a can, (freeze in a ziplock bag the rest for another time if you wish)1 tablespoons cornstarch1 tablespoons water2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional if you don't have it)salt to taste

I would give this more stars if I could. For me, it's the most satisfying and delicious dish during our Nativity Lenten period. I substituted sunflower oil for olive oil and used the entire can of coconut milk to thin the sauce and served over basmati rice.
